OLD LIFESTYLE HABITS   Many people develop habits that could have a negative effect on any weight loss effort. Habits formed over years may fuel certain behaviour which limits the capacity for positive action and result in a lowered motivation.       Lets look at some examples of habits which may be causing limitations..   Work:  pressures or boredom at work could tempt people to seek refuge in food. some may sit at home (less exercise) in their spare time worrying about how to meet deadlines rather than joining in some recreational activities (more exercise) to help relax. sitting at desk all day-then too tired or don't feel like any activity after work don't take sandwiches- so no control over meals as works canteen don't supply many healthy options. meetings with clients in restaurants- habit of eating too much  Family Life: family cooking methods, ingredients used or unhealthy recipes repeatedly used due to long-term habits. another family member has control over selection and cooking of food in the household- a change may not suit them  Consuming too many calories at family meals because of the social interaction surrounding mealtime - not aware of amount of food consumed. family problems/arguments- result in binge eating or drinking too much alcohol children's choice of snacks in the cupboards- causes temptation Social Life: drinking too much too often- to be with friends or in social situations, meet in pubs / snack bars / coffee shops social pressures to drink- to be with the " lads " frequenting restaurants for nights out with partner or family General habits: sucking on sweets all day to make work more pleasurable. Stocking too many sweets or snacks when food shopping watching films but must snack during viewing depending too much on use of vehicle even for trip to local shops must eat quickly as too little time for cooking with fresh natural ingredients- results in choosing convenient food high in fat/calories Recreational Habits: rent movies often but must snack whilst viewing unstoppable cravings for chocolate or sweets stopping smoking may affect the amount you eat The lists above could be endless and depends on an individuals own circumstances. Take a look at your own lifestyle, try to identify any habits that you feel need changing. Look closely as you may not be aware that some habits are affecting your progress for positive action. If you notice any habits try to think how you can eliminate them. People usually develop habits in connection with daily activities. For example, the person accustomed to snacking whilst watching movies will find it difficult to give up the snacks, especially when watching movies in the future. Not snacking makes this person's viewing seem incomplete. This person could simply substitute a good habit ( eating fruit or drinking fruit juice ) in place of a bad habit ( snacking on biscuits or crisps ). He can still enjoy his regular viewing and lower his calorie intake at the same time.    For the person who buys too many sweets or snacks when food shopping- don't shop when hungry or eat a healthy meal before you go, you may not feel like chocolate after eating so you buy less!   For families frequenting restaurants for social occasions can try a fun activity for a change, especially if you have told family about your intentions for slimming they'll probably go along with it!
